what is x in 30= 5x-24+64-32-32
Question
Answer:
30 = 5x - 24 + 64 - 32 - 3230 = 5x - 24
54 = 5x
x = 54/5
************************************************
Here is the full solution again, but the simplification of the right side
is shown, one operation at a time, using pemdas.
The right side contains only additions and subtractions.
We need "as" of pemdas. "as" of pemdas stands for additions and subtractions.
"as" of pemdas is: Do additions and subtractions from left to right in the order they appear.
30 = 5x - 24 + 64 - 32 - 32
5x is is not a like term to all the numbers, so we leave 5x alone, and we work on the numbers.
Start with -24 + 64
30 = 5x + 40 - 32 - 32
Now we do 40 - 32
30 = 5x + 8 - 32
Finally, we do 8 - 32
30 = 5x - 24
Now we add 24 to both sides to isolate the term with x.
54 = 5x
Finally, we divide both sides by 5.
54/5 = x
Switch sides.
x = 54/5
